Shapiro is fully programmed for all FDA filings and has been actively filing FDA though ACE for many months.   Under the ACE platform FDA is requiring additional, and in many cases new information, to be submitted in import entries.  Specifically all entries for FDA Food, Cosmetics and Medical Devices are affected.

Below is a list and brief description of the new required elements.  Our goal is to assure all of our customers are as prepared as possible, and that there are no delays in facilitating the release of their products.  If you have any questions about these new requirements please reach out to your Shapiro Import Analyst for further information.
